I can't chose between the Honda Element and the FJ Cruiser? |
I'm looking for a dedicated outdoors vehicle for bikes, surf, camping, occasional off roading and some general driving. I hate buying cars in the first model year, and I don't like the horrible MPG of the FJ. However, I am not sold on the Element's quirky styling and the econo-box rep of Honda (cheap materials, feel). Even worse, none come with GPS.satellite nav. They are fundimentally different vehicles. the FJ is a truck with extra seats where the Honda is a car with big tires. The FJ cruiser is much more vehicle for the $. It shares most of it's drivetrain with the $55k gx470 lexus. It's got a great torqie v6 and will be MUCH MUCH better offroad than the Honda. In fact the fjcruiser would likely be better in 2wd than the Element in 4wd. (especially with a rear locker engaged which would have to be modified to bypass the computer to work in 2wd.) The Element is based primarily off the civic and will not withstand much offroading. It's certainly a good reliable vehicle and would be the better choice for mostly highway miles. It really is a comparison between a truck and a car. If your looking for a car with big tires that gets better mileage than the element check out a new rav4. Depends on which you need. get a jeep commander.i love mine The Element is more practical. The 07 model has better materials. i cannot recomend either of some of the worst looking SUV's ever. why dont you look at the Nissian Xtera? Depends on your price range and size of the vehicle you want. The FJ had a very cheap feel to its interior, in my opinion, but the Element is quite quirky and has vinyl floors instead of carpeting. As far as an econo box rep of a Honda, the Element may be baseline but their vehicles definitely do not have the cheap materials and feel that they may have once had. You stated: "However, I am not sold on the Element's quirky styling and the econo-box rep of Honda (cheap materials, feel). " Are you serious? I'd say Toyota and Honda are both quality autos. The Civic and Corolla are "econoboxes" but they're certainly a higher quality than Cavaliers and Neons. I'd go with the Honda; the quirky styling is what makes the Element interesting and the car has gotten good ratings on Edmunds. FJ cruiser that is the sweetest retro SUV ever and should have awsome off road ability. |
